paper tubes

Cardboard roll cores

Paper tubes are cylindrical containers made from rolled and compressed paper or cardboard.

They serve as cores for products wound around them—toilet paper, paper towels, wrapping paper—or as packaging for items like posters, documents, or chips.

Industrial paper tubes provide structural support in textile manufacturing and shipping.
